This is how we keep up with each other and the projects we work on. Her is the one who doesn't pin and quilts her way! The Crafter, who won't crochet, is a painter, a stitcher and has a few more talents up her sleeve. Me is the quilter that pins, irons and measures twice!!!

Almost done something ...

Hey ....

Binding is giving you troubles eh?? I don't mind doing it b/c I don't do it by hand. I bind using my machine. I have done binding by hand but it takes too too long for me! I need to see more instant results. I think the best part about doing the binding is that when you get to this point, the quilt is almost done!!!

I still haven't stuffed the pillow ... Here is a couple of pictures of it:

Here is the center:The center has a saying that I hand stitched around it. "Just living is not enough" said the butterfly "one must have sunshine and freedom and a little flower". By Hans Christian Anderson.

Here are a few pictures of Kristy's T-shirt quilt that I am making. I am 2/3 done the top now. This is the first time I tried to lay out all the t-shirts.

Here is what it looks like now that I have added strips to the t-shirts:I was standing on top of my chair trying to take the above picture so I didn't get all of it in. I have the bottom right hand corner to finish piecing together. My goal is to have this done by the end of June.

I have figured out how I am going to quilt my Yellow Brick Road quilt too. I have figured out how I am going to quilt it. I will post some pictures soon.

One question ... How do I quilt the T-shirt quilt? None of the seams line up b/c I didn't cut any of the shirts the same size. I think I will just do an all over pattern on the black material and stitch in the ditch around the T-shirts. I suppose that I wouldn't have to stitch in the ditch if I got close enough to the t-shirts. What do you think?

okay, My previous comments did not post. I would either outline around the shirt squares or I would just loosly meander around the whole thing. I brought the camera home to take pictures of the big quilt but of course it started raining again.Can't wait to see your finished t shirt quilt.Keep quilting(what else can you do in the rain)Her
